[s][link=http://www.basenotes.net/ID26122494.html]Uomo (Lorenzo Villoresi) [/link] A perfect, subtle balance of citrus, bergamot and sandalwood. The juniper and patchouli sit quietly underneath. So unlike other early 90's releases. Alas, not long lasting on my skin. Need to refresh every two or three hours. But well worth it.[/s]

Nah. Changed my scent at lunch time. Let's have some risky layering for the afternoon...

Beaucoup Kouros with a mini spritzlette of Etro Patchouli. I am the handsomest urine cake in the house!

Re: SoTD, Wednesday July 20

Griff sure has nice stuff on--I've got a bottle of LV's Uomo and like it very much also but it does go away too quickly. It doesn't smell like something that would disappear though. Odd. Is it Eric here who wears the perfume version? That might be the way to go, but having some sillage of this baby would be priceless.

Today I wear a first timer on me: a brand new bottle of Parfums de Nicolaï's Vetyver! A new vetiver is always a chance to celebrate. This one is great, starts soapy and herbally, but is starting to smell a bit of honey, soap, and vetiver. Maybe it is kind of simple, but it is sunny and grassy. And there are distinct different parts of it. Sometimes I smell soap, sometimes grass, sometimes herbs.

This is my second from PdN, and bottles of two others came with this one. It is fun to learn a new house.
